Re: Wheels for drivetrain

Jim Wick,

Interesting, thanks for the information. We currently have 4 - 6" traction wheels, a Cimple box with two cims with tank drive. The front and rear are chained together. But we have too much traction also and can't turn very easily. We are considering changing our front wheels to something else. Everything is on the table as long as they are 6" due to the powertrain. We are a wide body with no intent of going over the hump. The bridge works fine for traversing from what we have seen. Good to know from you that the white wheels are borderline. We are considering going with dual omni wheels on the front. Any suggestions? Plus our next competition is week 3 so we need to act fast....
